3. Minimum age requirements
3.1. The download and use of the App are allowed only to subjects who conform to the definition of "consumers" and only if they are at least 18 years old. The installation and use of the App are therefore prohibited for minors.
4. Functions
4.1. The App allows the User to send a command, or a sequence of commands, ("Geolocation Request" or "Geolocation Requests") on its Device in order to obtain a contextual representation of the geographical position of the Urban Tracker and the object in which / on which the Product is attached.
4.2. In order to use the Geolocation Service, the User must first conclude a unique pairing process ("Pairing") between its Device and the UrbanTracker, allowing the App to be able to send Geolocation Requests in order to identify correctly the position of the object with which the Product was coupled.
4.3. The functions through which the UrbanTracker App allows the use of the Product and of the Geolocation Service are:
i. Ready: when configured in this mode, UrbanTracker can receive a Geolocation Request from the User via the App and send its Geolocation back to the Device
ii. Motion alarm: when configured in this mode, UrbanTracker activates an internal sensor that is able to detect when it is shacked or moved from its original position. When a movement is detected, the Product sends an alarm message and the Geolocation to the User Device.
iii. Tracking: when configured in this mode, UrbanTracker sends to the User Device a sequence of Geolocations detected at regular time intervals (configurable by the User); the UrbanTracker App is therefore able to draw a map of the movement of the Product.
iv. Flight mode: when configured in this mode, UrbanTracker turns off all radio transmission circuits and enters a Stand-by state. At regular intervals, UrbanTracker awakens to check, via its sensors, whether it is in flight or not. When UrbanTracker verifies that it is no longer in flight, it reactivates the radio transmission circuits and sends the Geolocation of the UrbanTracker to the user.
v. Off: enabling this mode, the User is able to remotely turn off the Product remotely. Once turned off, it is no longer possible to use UrbanTracker via the App but it is necessary to physically switch on the Product before it can be used again. This situation is also described in the UrbanTracker user manual.
4.4. With the "Update" option it is possible to download and send the updated firmware from the user's Smartphone directly to the Product via a direct WiFi connection. For this purpose it is necessary to have previously activated the WiFi connection on the paired device. While executing the firmware update, the Device temporarily disconnects from the internet and connects via WiFi to the Urban Tracker. During the update process it is important to not turn off or disconnect the Product and / or the Device.
4.5. The User can use the Geolocation Service only after having executed the Association between UrbanTracker and the Device (paring), as the mere download of the App is not sufficient to activate the service.
4.6. If the User intends to receive push notifications related to the status and position of the Product - these are configured based on the chosen operating mode (Ready, Motion alarm, Tracking) - as well as notifications related to the availability of a new software update or to other features of the App, the User must enable the App to manage push notifications, giving consent during the App installation process or by accessing the standard device configuration functions.
5. Uninstalling the UrbanTracker App. Cancellation of UrbanTracker.
5.1. The User can uninstall the App at any time, through the normal procedures provided by the operating system of the Device.
5.2. The User who wants to delete an UrbanTracker that he previously associated with the App must: select the "Delete Tracker" item on the menu and click "Yes"
5.3. The uninstallation of the App involves the deletion of all the data contained in the App and that are resident on the Device; that with the exception of the ID of the phone that is stored in order to allow the User to view again the history of Geolocations from the back-end server of Stetel Things should he/she decide to reinstall the App and perform Pairing with the same UrbanTracker again.
5.4. If the User changes Device, he can make a new Pairing with his UrbanTracker:
i. the User must first cancel the Product from the previous Device;
or
ii. the User must first execute the factory reset procedure of the UrbanTracker as indicated in the instructions for the use of the Product.
5.5. The User acknowledges and agrees that execution of a new Pairing will result in the loss of the Geolocation Service history as the Product will be configured with a new internal "ID".
6. Inability to use the Product. Inability to use the device
6.1. In the event that the Urban Tracker is no longer used / usable (eg loss, theft, etc.), the User can proceed with the deletion of the Product from the Device using the "Delete Tracker" function available in the App. The User declares to be aware and to accept that Stetel Things cannot be held responsible for the damages that the User may suffer if he/she does not request the timely cancellation of the Product, in the manner described above in art. 5.
6.2. In the event that the Device is no longer used / usable, the User who intends to proceed with the association with a new Device is required to restore the Product's factory settings ("Factory Reset") following the instructions contained in the UrbanTracker user manual. The Factory Reset will result in the loss of the Geolocation Service history and the creation of a new Product ID, thus eliminating any UrbanTracker logical connection with the old Device. The User declares to be aware and to accept that Stetel Things cannot be held responsible for damages that the User may suffer if the Factory Reset is not promptly executed.
